    This is very, very sad.
    Anyway whether this crash was due to Mishap, Slippery road, being Drunk, or Sleepyness, it should be noted that:
    Sleep driving is by Far more Dangerous than Drunk driving.

    For your to say "It was tragic accident" is Rhetorical, No-brainer, and Moronic. Duh!!!
